The macroscopic Hausdorff dimension Dim H (E) of a set E $\subset$ R d was introduced by Barlow and Taylor to quantify a "fractal at large scales" behavior of unbounded, possibly discrete, sets E. We develop a method based on potential…
In this paper we consider fractal percolation random Cantor sets $E$ on the plane constructed with non-homogeneous probabilities. We focus on the case when the probabilities are large enough to guarantee that the almost sure dimension of…
It is well known that if $A \subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$ is an analytic set of Hausdorff dimension $a$, then $\dim_H(\pi_VA)=\min\{a,k\}$ for a.e.\ $V\in G(n,k)$, where $G(n,k)$ denotes the set of all $k$-dimensional subspaces of $\mathbb{R}^n$…
We prove the following restricted projection theorem. Let $n\ge 3$ and $\Sigma \subset S^{n}$ be an $(n-1)$-dimensional $C^2$ manifold such that $\Sigma$ has sectional curvature $>1$. Let $Z \subset \mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ be analytic and let $0…
We fully resolve the Furstenberg set conjecture in $\mathbb{R}^2$, that a $(s, t)$-Furstenberg set has Hausdorff dimension $\ge \min(s+t, \frac{3s+t}{2}, s+1)$. As a result, we obtain an analogue of Elekes' bound for the discretized…
For $e \in S^{2}$, the unit sphere in $\mathbb{R}^3$, let $\pi_{e}$ be the orthogonal projection to $e^{\perp} \subset \mathbb{R}^{3}$, and let $W \subset \mathbb{R}^{3}$ be any $2$-plane, which is not a subspace. We prove that if $K…
We give conditions on a general family $P_{\lambda}:\R^n\to\R^m, \lambda \in \Lambda,$ of orthogonal projections which guarantee that the Hausdorff dimension formula $\dim A\cap P_{\lambda}^{-1}\{u\}=s-m$ holds generically for measurable…
For any $x\in\mathbb{R}^d$, $d\geq 2$, denote $\pi^x: \mathbb{R}^d\backslash\{x\}\rightarrow S^{d-1}$ as the radial projection $$\pi^x(y)=\frac{y-x}{|y-x|}. $$ Given a Borel set $E\subset{\Bbb R}^d$, $\dim_{\mathcal{H}} E\leq d-1$, in this…
It is shown that if $A \subseteq \mathbb{R}^3$ is a Borel set of Hausdorff dimension $\dim A \in (3/2,5/2)$, then for a.e. $\theta \in [0,2\pi)$ the projection $\pi_{\theta}(A)$ of $A$ onto the 2-dimensional plane orthogonal to…
We prove a version of the Erd\H{o}s--Beck Theorem from discrete geometry for fractal sets in all dimensions. More precisely, let $X\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ Borel and $k \in [0, n-1]$ be an integer. Let $\dim (X \setminus H) = \dim X$ for every…
We study projections onto non-degenerate one-dimensional families of lines and planes in $\mathbb{R}^{3}$. Using the classical potential theoretic approach of R. Kaufman, one can show that the Hausdorff dimension of at most…
We improve the best known lower bound for the dimension of radial projections of sets in the plane. We show that if $X,Y$ are Borel sets in $\R^2$, $X$ is not contained in any line and $\dim_H(X)>0$, then $$\sup\limits_{x\in X} \dim_H(\pi_x…
We study dimensions of sets projected to an $(n-2)$-dimensional family of hyperplanes in $\mathbb{R}^n$ under curvature conditions. Let $n\ge 3$ and $\Sigma \subset S^{n-1}$ be an $(n-2)$-dimensional $C^2$ manifold such that $\Sigma$ has…
The behavior of the Hausdorff dimension of a set when projected onto a subspace is a fundamental question in fractal geometry. In this paper, we settle a question of Fassler and Orponen concerning the dimension of a set when projected onto…
Suppose that $\Sigma$ is a hyperbolic surface and $f:\mathbb R_+\to\mathbb R_+$ a monotonic function. We study the closure in the projective tangent bundle $PT\Sigma$ of the set of all geodesics $\gamma$ satisfying $I(\gamma,\gamma)\leq…
Marstrand's projection theorem from $1954$ states that if $K \subset \mathbb{R}^{3}$ is an analytic set, then, for $\mathcal{H}^{2}$ almost every $e \in S^{2}$, the orthogonal projection $\pi_{e}(K)$ of $K$ to the line spanned by $e$ has…
Marstrand's celebrated projection theorem gives the Hausdorff dimension of the orthogonal projection of a Borel set in Euclidean space for almost all orthogonal projections. It is straightforward to see that sets for which the Fourier and…
Let $M$ be a $d$-dimensional complete Riemannian manifold and let $\pi: SM \to M$ denote the canonical projection from the unit tangent bundle. We prove that if $E \subset SM$ is a set that invariant under the geodesic flow with Hausdorff…
Let $F \subset \mathbb{R}^{2}$, and let $\dim_{\mathrm{A}}$ stand for Assouad dimension. I prove that $\dim_{\mathrm{A}} \pi_{e}(F) \geq \min\{\dim_{\mathrm{A}} F,1\}$ for all $e \in S^{1}$ outside of a set of Hausdorff dimension zero. This…
We prove the following variant of Marstrand's theorem about projections of cartesian products of sets: Let $K_1,...,K_n$ Borel subsets of $\mathbb R^{m_1},... ,\mathbb R^{m_n}$ respectively, and $\pi:\mathbb R^{m_1}\times...\times\mathbb…
